After many attempts, not to mention a few headaches, at a process called 'Layers' I have my first success. The little lad is my step grandson, Fletcher, and before anyone says it, no he wasn't trying to get away from me.  Wink Cheesy Grin

That looks excellent.  I have to admit to feeling a wee bit envious; I have wanted for a long time to learn how to create images like this, but unfortunately lack the staying power to work on layers.  Everytime I try I get frustrated!

It took me a long while to get stuck into layers, JollyJapes, like you I kept giving up. One of the reasons was that the tutorials that came with Paintshop Pro X4 were not easy to follow, for me anyway. I had a look on YouTube and found many videos that helped me to understand the basics and that encouraged me to keep going. I don't know what program you use but if it's the same as mine here are a few links.

If you use another program just go to YouTube and type in the details and there are loads of videos that help. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words. Just typing your details into Google brings up a great deal of sites that help. Once you have your first success it's hard to stop, give it a go.

I wrote it all down on a piece of paper, Mel. Now, where did I put the paper?  Huh
